Anyone else got one - just opened mine Smile

Yes..I'm sure I will love the products but not entirely sure how to use this palette. Think I might give this one to my friend who is all about the brows.

Costacoffeeplease · 01/12/2018 12:18

I thought it was all brows as well but it’s actually foundation, bronzer, highlighter and blusher Smile

Me! I'm also a bit scared of the palette though it's lovely. Might regift this one.

MrsCar · 01/12/2018 12:31

Enjoy it OP and everyone else.
I had it last year, it was one of my favourite things about Christmas Smile

BewareOfDragons · 01/12/2018 12:31

It's 25% off now on the website ...£59 ... don't think it was quite as popular this year. Last year's was so lovely and full of nice things

BringMeTea · 01/12/2018 13:21

Me! I was pleasantly surprised to discover it has nothing to do with brows! Might it compete with my Hourglass trio?

TheCountryGirl · 01/12/2018 14:12

It has nothing to do with brows? In that case I will maybe try it. Is it for the face around the brows?

MrsCar · 01/12/2018 14:15

Have a look on the website.

Last year they gave a product description each day

NiceUnusualDifferent · 01/12/2018 14:58

I too thought it was brows then opened it and thought all highlighters. I only realised when I came to have a proper look that it was foundation, blusher & bronzer. Quite happy with day 1, the mirror is a good size too 😊

Costacoffeeplease · 01/12/2018 15:40

It’s just normal foundation etc

Just ordered one, so will be a few days behind. I'm on a diet pre Christmas and love an advent calendar so treated myself to this one. Hope it arrives quickly!!!

UserMe18 · 01/12/2018 18:31

I may have opened it a few days early and tested it 😂😂 I've never contoured in my life but found a video on YouTube and used this palette, I was amazed at the difference!!

Jaimx86 · 01/12/2018 19:35

I was very happy this morning. Had the HD Brows eyeshadow palette last year and have used it often - glad to see another HD product.

trebleclef101 · 01/12/2018 21:41

I was so excited to open this today, this is my first beauty calendar Grin

This might be a stupid question, but how do you apply a powder foundation? What's the best brush / applicator to use? Never had a powder one before!

SickRose · 01/12/2018 22:59

Another one that thought it was brow related at first! Makes sense, considering that's what's written on the front. Had a quick look, not sure any of the foundations would match me but I could probably work with the highlight blush and bronzer. It's been a good start!

Costacoffeeplease · 01/12/2018 23:45

Maybe you could blend two of the foundations together?

MyNameIsJane · 02/12/2018 07:14

I’ve ordered mine and getting it tomorrow.

Jaimx86 · 02/12/2018 07:50

I plan to use the very pale shade as an eyeshadow as I’m always in need of pale shades.
I like today’s item (is this a no spoilers thread? Should it maybe be no spoilers until 10/11am?) from a practical viewpoint. It’ll get used, but it’s not very exciting.

NiceUnusualDifferent · 02/12/2018 08:12

Jaimx that’s what I thought of this mornings too. I’ve never tried this one though so it’s the chance to try I guess

LivLemler · 02/12/2018 09:45

Joining the thread so I can follow. I don't usually spend much on make up or skin care, but bought the calendar as a treat for my last month of maternity leave.

Yesterday's looks gorgeous, but I don't really do contouring. Will try today's on my way to bed tonight and hope I'm not allergic.

kmmr · 02/12/2018 10:07

The HD Brows isn't brows!? I'll have to check the website.
Glad to find this thread. I'm love this time of year, I loved it last year. I'm as excited as my 4 year old to open a door each day. :)

kmmr · 02/12/2018 10:11

Does anyone have the link to the day by day product details?

InfiniteSheldon · 02/12/2018 10:11

I've never used all of last year's banana powder so I'm pleased with this. Think I need a you tube tutorial tho

BringMeTea · 02/12/2018 10:36

I think 10am seems fair Jaimx86. I never use today's product and have plenty from beauty boxes etc. But I am a bit of a make-up removal slattern (don't wear much tbh). Perhaps I should change my ways? [santa]
